Apple castoffs

I've been needing to upgrade my mp3 player for a while now. I spend around $150 for an IRiver 256mb back in the day. It is still a good mp3 player, and it still has more features than an iPod, like FM tuner, line in and built in microphone with real time mp3 compression, but is a little lacking in the size department these days. After the Apple store came back on line following the Apple fanboy nerdgasm on September 5th, I picked up an now obsolete, "refurb" 2nd Gen iPod Nano for $90. I also got the Nike+ sensor that I've been wanting, and an armband. I am getting this primarily for running, so all the cool features that the iPod touch, or the other newer iPods are not really relevant. I still wish it had an integrated microphone & FM tuner, and maybe a standard Micro USB connector instead of the proprietary iPod connection. You would think that the company that makes laptops with all the extra's built in like a webcam, and all radios (except cellular), would do the same for their mp3 players.

I plan on having a real convergence device like the n95 to be my main portable media player / web browser / phone. The iPod Touch is cool and all, but without bluetooth and GPS, it wouldn't be able to tether to my phone when outside a hotspot.
